Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the vívoactive 4 GPS Smartwatch's long battery life, which lasts up to 4 days, and its durability, which is more robust than an Apple Watch. They also appreciate the activity tracking feature and the onboard music storage. While some users wish it was smaller in size, overall, customers are pleased with the watch's screen, GPS tracking, and ease of use.

    Music without phone is its best feature at the price paid. Light weight, snuggy fit. Battery could have been better. Only issue I found is the wifi connectivity. It keeps saying the password is incorrect even though it is correctly entered. Had to use a workaround to temporarily disable the router password, download the songs onto the watch and enable the router password again. Would have given 5 stars if this problem didn't exist.

    Purchased to replace my VivoActive 3 that was damaged due to damage. The new features are excellent, the colors are better, the battery is better, and the ease of transitioning was perfect

    I switched from my iphone and apple watch to a android so I had to get another watch. I've had Garmins in the past and liked them. This one seems to track my HR better than my previous garmins, they used to be about 10% low all the time, for me. I like the Golf tracking, which I've used before on the S20 and S60, this is just as good. For working out I set it to Cardio, I don't want to spend time on my watch tracking reps and exercises the whole time. The cardio tracking is good enough for me. The sleep tracking sucks for someone who works nights and has a screwed up schedule. I've talked to garmin support about this before. It would be nice if there was a sleep widget to start it manually when I go to bed at either 8am on my work days or 10pm on my days off or 1pm on my in between days.

    This replaced my Vivoactive 3 and I can say the improvements are subtle but definitely good. To start the screen is slightly bigger but with a bump in resolution. Now after certain activities a map will be displayed on the watch. Battery life is still top notch with the watch not needing to be charged for 3 to 4 days. The the swiping on the edge of the watch to move up and down the screen is gone but that will not be missed. Watch now measures blood oxygen levels and body battery levels. If you are looking for a vivid bright screen look somewhere else. If you want a serious fitness watch this is it.

    I am pleased with the watch so far. I love all the face setting but it is a lot to customize every segment. Colors examples doesn’t match the actual face settings.

    Gift for my husband which really like it but the face was bigger than what he prefers. Honestly, it's him that does not care to wear a watch. So it's more him than the watch. Watch seems well made and stylish. Garmin had alot of options.

    This watch had motivated me to drink more water, walk more and discover clues on why I never feel rested. Yet I still don't know everything about it.

    My Apple watch is 4yrs old at this point and has been wonderful. The battery has never been great and it tracked what I needed. Been looking at the Garmin’s for awhile now and I am really happy I made the switch. This tracks all the things I want/need and more. It is very comfortable and can be worn for any occasion really. There are personalized workouts you can setup through the Garmin app in addition to new watch faces. The battery life is amazing too. So far this thing has been great and I am not missing my Apple watch.

    Perfect watch. Great function. 2nd button on the side was a great addition. Easy to use and the Garmin app is far superior than any other fitness tracker app.

    I got this for my son for Christmas! He loves it and he’s amazed at how smart the watch actually is! It keeps up with his light/deep/rem sleep patterns. It keeps up with his stress levels and his steps. He can control his music as well. I could not have chosen a better watch for him! Thanks BestBuy for a decent price and super fast shipping. I definitely recommend this product.

    Garmin is the only watch that has been rugged enough to survive for any significant period of time on my wrist. Either the watch is damaged or the charging port connection dies on other watches. My wife bought this watch to replace an existing vivoactive HR which is still working after a couple of years and a new watch band. No crazy about the menus on this watch and getting to more info, does not seem that intuitive so far. Simple is better.
